Our Overall Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Excellent)

Although it does provide additional services, ZipRecruiter is mostly focused on bringing the best job search and application experience to its users. The website offers a massive database coupled with comprehensive filters and resume management tools. One nice feature is that the links to jobs take the applicant directly to the hiring page of the listing company's website, thereby providing job hunters with the most complete and up-to-date information about open positions. Intelligent alerts and excellent customer feedback further cements ZipRecruiter as an outstanding job search website.

ZipRecruiter Website Features

Ease of Navigation - 5 / 5

ZipRecruiter features a powerful job search engine that can find postings in between millions of listings. Many of their job postings have a one-click application option that makes the process that much easier. Users can upload their resume onto the site and it will automatically migrate it to its format, which you can then compare to the original online. Furthermore, the website will notify you of every step your application goes through–even if it's been reviewed by the employer or not. The site itself features a clean, spare, design that's easy to navigate and easy on the eyes.

ZipRecruiter Notifications

Job Alerts - 4.8 / 5

ZipRecruiter can send job alerts to users by text and email. It can also send notifications to your phone through its mobile app. These alerts are customizable, but interestingly enough, do not have an option for frequency. Rather, a complex algorithm sorts out the kind of job you're looking at and how often you are doing so in order to provide the best possible suggestions for each individual consumer.

ZipRecruiter Customer Experience

Additional Services - 4.8 / 5

ZipRecruiter has an A+ rating from the BBB, but nearly all of the customer reviews published on the BBB site are negative. The company does take pains, though, to respond to most of the comments it receives, which suggests a strong willingness to engage with its customers (even the unhappy ones). Its Trustpilot score is an excellent 4.7 out of 5, backed by a staggering number of reviews–over 7,000. An smart-looking app and flexible customer support alternatives further improve ZipRecruiter's customer experience score.

We paid for a month service to post a job and every single applicant that applied didn't respond to our requests to interview with them. Now to me that seems sketchy. All 33 applicants didn't respond? Statisically what are the odds of that? I'm thinking they are bogus applicants! When I asked about why they weren't responding to us, the salesperson simply said "oh we never have bad seeds like that who don't respond, but if you buy up on your package, I can guarantee a response". What, did they really just say that to me? TOTAL SCAM.

I used zip recruiter. I have gotten 6 candidates in two weeks .None of them are near our location. I contacted Zip and they said for An additional $1,200 I could get postings closer to me. This is not a truthful operation and I would rate them very poorly. The original person was very nice and when I called to complain,they refered me to some one else and for the additional amount I could get more candidates. Why was this not told to me in the beginning????
